Chesterfield team news

The Spireites were without Sam Hird, Liam O’Neil and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake at the weekend, and new signing Chris Herd hasn't played yet this season and lacks match fitness.

Drew Talbot’s red card at the weekend means he will be missing, and Saunders' men have conceded six goals in two matches - and surrendered a two-goal lead twice.

On This Day: Laser Quest

This day in 1997 saw the Sky Blues travel to Blackpool for the first round and first leg of the Coca-Cola Cup.

David Linighan headed the only goal of the game for the home side, managing to provide the Tangerines with a slender lead going into the second leg.

The game was marred by controversy, though, as City striker Kyle Lightbourne raced clear in the first-half, but failed to net in a one-on-one after a home supporter flashed a laser pen in his eyes.
